Recruitment Consultant

About the ITS: With over 50 years’ experience within the construction industry and now 19 offices in major cities across the UK, ITS is a well-established and successful recruitment agency that specialises in the Construction sector. Each office prides itself on their local knowledge of both candidates and clients and bespoke tailored service. An opportunity has arisen to introduce a new experienced consultant to the Sussex team in the Brighton area. This office has been established since 2016 and has developed a solid reputation and client base in the area. This new role would suit an experienced trades consultant looking to establish themselves into a new career path with a privately run business and exceptional career opportunities.

The job role and the desk: The current trades and labour team is made up of 2 experienced consultants, a Sales manager and Resourcers, supported by a company Director. They require an experienced consultant with a proven track record to help develop our local presence providing trade contractors. This will be a hands-on role developing a warm desk and working alongside the sales manager and the rest of the trades team. This is an exciting challenge for the right person who would have the benefit of working with numerous existing PSLs in the area on both trades and white collar freelance. As the office is already well established, it is a sector and business that needs to be developed rather than built up from scratch. It is already running comfortably in profit and has enormous potential to increase.

We are looking for someone who can:

• Develop and maintain our existing relationships and attract new business.
• Work independently and remotely when required.
• Work with the local team to develop sales in both trades and professionals work.
• Deliver excellent customer service.
• Be confident with scheduling and the time management of yourself and others.
• Ideally have an established business network of your own or good understanding of the construction sector. (This is not essential and we will consider candidates from other sectors with a proven track record.)

Essential Qualifications/Experience required: The position is ideally suited to someone with trades and labour, white collar or construction related recruitment experience. It is suited to a consultant with at least 1 year’s experience who is looking for progression and/or a new challenge. However, we are open-minded to candidates from other disciplines to be cross-trained as long as they have the right attitude and aptitude and can adapt to the high demands of a busy freelance environment.

Training/Progression opportunities: Training is always offered from one-off specific courses to ongoing distant learning with the REC. ITS always invests time and training to each member of staff and are in the process of developing a new internal industry recognised training and development program in line with other external partners, so each individual can reach their full potential. For this position, full support will be provided to develop a growth strategy with a budget to deliver it. With incentives to ensure that the right individual can get the most out of their team and themselves as a billing manager.

Some of the benefits include:

• Generous salary.
• Car allowance.
• Personal and team commission.
• Quarterly & annual performance bonuses.
• Reward trips.
• Opportunities to become a Director and Shareholder.

This investment helps upkeep our high staff retention. Promotion is a high priority for ITS and we pride ourselves on promoting from within and have many success stories around the group. In time, promotions do lead to directorships and shares of offices and a number of our current directors started as trainees and consultants.

How to apply: Please send an updated CV to John Bennett or call (phone number removed). All applications and calls will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
